"Britannia auto centres were a very busy but friendly garage. They carried out a service for me at next day notice though very busy. I mentioned symptoms I had been experiencing with my car and they were able to carry out a very reasonable fix at no extra charge for labour. I was able to chat to the mechanic before any repair was carried out and when I picked up my car he gave me a good description off the work that was carried out. Iam very happy with the price and the honest work carried out and will be booking in the future for sure."

What is brake fluid replacement?

The brakes on your car use fluid pressure. When you press the brake pedal, it activates a plunger in the master cylinder; this pressurises the brake fluid in the pipes and hoses, which makes the brake components move.

Even though brake fluid sits in a sealed system it can still absorb moisture over time, and that can lead to corrosion. Moisture also lowers the boiling temperature of brake fluid which can reduce braking effectiveness, especially if your vehicle makes repeated hard stops. Check your car's owner manual to see when the manufacturer recommends replacing the brake fluid.

Or you can use BookMyGarage to find a garage near you to check the state of your brake fluid - it's a simple test and they will have the right tools to do it for you.

About Volkswagen

A heritage German brand that has been a favourite for decades, it’s hard to throw a stone without
hitting someone who owns or has owned a Golf at some point in their life! It’s essentially a
rite of passage for anyone searching for a safe, reliable, and family-friendly car.

Interestingly, Volkswagen has three cars in the top 10 list of best-selling cars of all time -
the Volkswagen Golf, the Beetle, and the Passat. Not bad, right?

Known for their reliability and value for money, VWs have long served as a reasonably priced little
sibling to the more luxurious Audi, receiving excellent reviews across the board when it comes to
the motoring press. You’d be hard pressed to find a range of cars as practical, safety-conscious, attractive
and just generally good to drive as a Volkswagen.

What do you need from your garage?

This might sound like a question with an obvious answer: you need a garage that can service or repair your car quickly and
at a good price. But think again and you may realise there are other factors that affect your choice of garage in Prudhoe. If
you need to bring your son or daughter with you when you take your car in, are there toys in the waiting room? If you’re
dropping the car off between school and work, can you pick up a cup of coffee while you’re there? Might the garage even collect
your car and drop it back at your house after the work is done? You can find answers to all these questions on BookMyGarage.
